Intel Pentium 4 1.4GHz & 1.5GHz

The SYSMark 2000 benchmark is perfect for illustrating what even a PC133 SDRAM platform could do for the Pentium 4. If you notice, the 1.5GHz Pentium 4 is just 3 points lower than a 1GHz Pentium III on an i840 platform, keep in mind that the two platforms have the exact same memory configuration. Now look at the same Pentium III on a PC133 i815 platform, see the huge performance advantage it gets just by moving to PC133 SDRAM instead of the i840's dual channel RDRAM setup? Chances are we'd see a similar boost for the Pentium 4, bringing it much closer in performance to the Athlon, however we won't be seeing that anytime soon. And for the home/office user, the Pentium 4 would actually be a downgrade in many cases.

First Post!!!!Seriously how come no one posted on these old articles? It was an interesting read on a bit of history. :)

Maybe because there wasn't a comment section back then? /sarcasim

10 years after first post. 15 years since article.Interesting piece of history. What ever happened to AMD's lead... :(.
For 10 year in the future reader.
I knew AMD would take the performance lead.

Many thanks for sharing! check this page: http://clashroyaleihack.comAnonymous_87 - Wednesday, January 4, 2017 - link
this was the worst CPU by intel ever, much like Phenom launch in 2007, yet this is kind towards intel. a contrast to the phenom review. Its sad the bias.Dr AB - Saturday, May 9, 2020 - link
On the contrary I think this was most interesting ... With much higher memory bandwith, sadly clock speeds were not as impressive in early released models.AndrzejKalach - Friday, February 3, 2017 - link
Yeaa this history is awesome. AMD INTEL this companies needs to fight every time in the market.Good old intels CPUs! That is what i want.
Check my blog: https://proudmedia.eu - In polish but this site is very good like this awesome post!

hi the 50% higher clock speed very goodhttp://crgenerere.com/
